We had lunch at Arabesque on the weekend and they have chicken, beef and mixed Shawarma. It was the first time I tried their Shawarma and it was very good.

That's a very good point.

Queen Shawarma does beef shawarma, donair and falafel. Also some really gigantic looking samosas, though I have yet to try them. Most weeknight evenings selection gets limited to whatever they have left.

Ace Shawarma only has chicken shawarma, but they also do a variety of other dishes included lamb kebob, chicken tikka masala and several different types of burgers.

1001 nights has several different options but thus far I've only tried the chicken shawarma. I think they do a beef shawarma, falafel and maybe donair and gryos, possibly?

I'm confused. You said "they have chicken and gyros." So what I understand from that is they have chicken and chicken, or they have gyros and gyros.

Are you really confused or are you being facetious? Is there any place in town that doesn't make gyro from beef and/or lamb? While the original dish itself may be more broadly define, availability in this region is pretty limited to a fairly specific thing.

Funny. I looked at the menu for Rana's (Recommended earlier in this thread), Queen Shawarma, (off Just-Eat) and 1001 nights (off Facebook) and did not see Donair (not to be confused with a Döner)

Ha ha. That really is funny, when people make simple mistakes. I apologize for my egregious and horrendous ignorance and hope that it didn't hurt your sensitive kebab sensibilities too much to suffer through a fucking thread about tasty food.
